The bombing of the Japanese army by the bombers was just the beginning of the Luanhe War!
Li Chang commanded the mountain artillery, field artillery, medium mortar units and artillery regiments of each army of the First Artillery Corps to quickly establish positions on the west bank of the Luan River after crossing the river. Since the heavy artillery and rocket launchers were towed by vehicles, they waited for the engineer division to build a pontoon bridge. Establish a position on the east bank of the Luan River.
The summer is long, and around six o'clock in the afternoon is a good time for farmers to work in the fields. Unfortunately, the fierce sound of gunfire has been heard from the morning until now, and the farmland along the section from Shanhaiguan to Luanhe River on Beining Road can be seen There was not a single villager working in the fields. If you looked around, you could see either the smoke and dust stirred up by the bombs, or the tanks, self-propelled artillery and cars of the Japanese Third Tank Division dodging behind the bombs.
Li Chang held up his binoculars and looked at the embarrassment of the Japanese Third Tank Division under the massive bombardment by the bombers. He calculated the distance in his mind. He was waiting for the opportunity for the bombers to leave after dropping their bombs.
Li Chang must not fire at this time, as it will cause accidental damage. Pilots are so valuable, and aircraft are so valuable. It would be a sin if they were accidentally injured by our army's artillery fire!
The bomber pilots understood Li Chang's anxious mood. What they remembered in their minds was Liu Yimin's order: destroy the Japanese artillery positions and defeat the 3rd Japanese tank division. The fight was endless, wave after wave, and the Japanese army The 3rd Tank Division flew back and forth over the marching column, chasing the Japanese vehicles. It seemed as if the mission had not been completed unless the 3rd Tank Division was paralyzed.
What Li Chang was anxious about was that the bomber formation did not give him the opportunity to bombard the Japanese Third Tank Division. Lieutenant General Nishihara Issaku, commander of the Japanese Third Tank Division, was also anxious, but what he was anxious about was how to attack the Japanese Third Tank Division. The troops brought out the strike circle of the Higashino Central and American bombers! They were also impatient, but impatience is different from impatience.
Nishihara Issaku is different from Kuangmu Takaaki. He is the commander of the third tank division and knows the terrible consequences of being bitten by a group of bombers. At this moment, he is in a dilemma. He can only use semaphores over and over again to order the troops to disperse, disperse, Spread out quickly.
The purpose of dispersion is to facilitate tanks to make evasive maneuvers and avoid aerial bombs.
The 3rd Japanese Tank Division had already formed a combat formation after leaving the hidden starting position. However, it was advancing quickly on roads and country roads, so the units of the 3rd Japanese Tank Division could only advance along highways and country roads. In this way, the artillery of the Northeast Field Army on the Luan River can be attacked as quickly as possible.
What the Japanese army wants is attack speed, and what our bomber group hopes for is a swarm of Japanese tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, and automobiles.
The biggest nightmare of the Japanese Third Tank Division began. The flying fortresses of the U.S. East Asia Strategic Bombing Command flew over. B17 and B25. When the altitude dropped to 3,000 meters, the aerial bombs screamed and moved densely towards the Japanese battlefield. The vehicles of the Third Division fell overhead. The bomb load of these air fortresses is about nine tons. The bomb load of one aircraft is equivalent to nine Japanese heavy bombers. Such a low-altitude concentrated bombing, not to mention tanks, armored vehicles, cars and bicycles, Artillery has been fired, and even the highway has been bombed into large craters. Tanks, cars, armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery can't even think of getting out if they fall into a big crater.
Aerial bombs were exploding. Japanese tanks, armored vehicles, cars, and self-propelled artillery were burning, groaning, and fleeing. The entire battlefield was filled with dust and mist, and became a mess.
Lieutenant General Nishihara Issaku, commander of the 3rd Japanese tank division, was already desperate at this time. He cursed Kuangmu Takaaki ten thousand times in his heart and wished he could drive the tank back and crush that stupid guy. The problem was Nishihara Issaku.
He also knew that even if his third division of tanks stayed at the hidden assembly point and did not move out, it would not work. Such a large-scale army, like a steel dragon, how could it be hidden? If the time is a little longer, Liu Yimin will definitely be
The Ministry’s fleet discovered that that would be even more unlucky!
Desperate Lieutenant General Nishihara Issaku saw that tanks, armored vehicles, and cars were set on fire or overturned by aerial bombs, and fell into large craters and could not get out. He knew that his Third Tank Division would soon be destroyed.
The whole army will be annihilated.
At this time, Nishihara Issaku's madness was also aroused. He personally got out of the turret of the command vehicle, waved the signal flag, and gave the order for each vehicle to accelerate the attack in skirmish formation.
Nishihara's plan was to cut off the strength of a strong man. He wanted to break out of the bomber group's fire circle with separate vehicles and attack quickly, rush to the Luanhe River, and use tank guns and airborne machine guns to drive the Dongye artillery across the river down the river!
At this time, the Third Division of Japanese Tanks was already in chaos. The roads were impassable and the country roads were impassable. The remaining Japanese tanks turned to the fields and rushed through the wheat fields that were growing gratifyingly. The tanks were like this, those
The remaining cars, armored vehicles, and self-propelled artillery did not follow the same pattern and ran behind the tanks. They needed the tanks to crush a passable road for them.
There were no Japanese fighter jets to entangle, and the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower had been destroyed. It was purely an air-to-ground attack like target practice. The bomber pilots naturally shot more accurately and fiercely!
A Japanese light tank roared into the wheat field, its tracks crushing the wheat. At this moment, a bomber flew over, its large-caliber machine gun spitting flames, and a string of bullets hit the protective armor on the front of the tank.
Up, the warhead ejected, making a crackling sound. Unfortunately, the protective armor of the Japanese light tank was too thin. This string of large-caliber machine gun bullets hit, and finally penetrated the protective armor and got into the vehicle. The tank whimpered.
After a few beeps, the engine turned off.
The car that was escaping with the tank was even worse. It didn't need to be shot by aircraft or machine guns, and bombs exploded. Wheat straw half a man's height wrapped the car's tires. The car whimpered a few times and stalled. The kid in the car jumped out and started.
They lay down. Soon after, a bomb exploded above them, and the ground was covered with blood in an instant!
The air-to-ground attack continued, but the situation on the battlefield changed.
Nishihara Issaku was wrapped in smoke and dust, and his sight was not good. He could not see the situation on the battlefield at this time. He did not know that Higashino's main 2nd Corps and 3rd Corps were swarming across the river, one from the south and one from the north, attacking the Japanese heavy group from both wings.
They surrounded them, and their posture clearly indicated that they wanted to encircle the Japanese army and swallow them whole.
The army is encircling, and the speed itself is very fast, but commanders at all levels always feel that the troops are moving slowly. From time to time, the commanders' low roars are heard in the running team: "Run! Run! Keep up!"
Two corps and six corps, a force of more than 200,000 troops, were running and moving quickly on both sides of the Beining Line on the west bank of the Luan River. The sound of footsteps could be heard, and even the explosion of aerial bombs could not be covered up.
Nishihara Issei couldn't hear the footsteps of our troops outflanking us, but the enemy's commander in front of the heavy Japanese army group, the commander of the 110th Division, Sangmu Takaaki, heard it. The old devil looked up at the sky and felt that there would be another hour, that is,
By 8 o'clock, it was getting dark, and it was time for Liu Yimin's plane to go back and lay down, no longer afraid of the plane bombing. However, Sangmu Chongming was more cautious this time and did not act blindly. He just ordered all troops to enter the position concealedly.
Prepare to fight back.
At 7 o'clock, the three pontoon bridges built by the Engineer Division that could pass vehicles were finally completed. Liu Yimin ordered the three armored brigades of the First Corps, the Second Corps, and the Third Corps to cross the river first, and the armies of the First Corps crossed the river through other pontoon bridges.
Under the signal command of the engineers, the first tank drove onto the pontoon bridge and slowly drove towards the other side.
After a tank passed smoothly, the tanks and armored vehicles drove onto the pontoon one after another and drove towards the other side. As for the cars, they were placed at the back. Anyway, the highway had been pockmarked by bombs, and the cars did not move after they passed.
You can definitely run it.
Until the entire First Corps crossed the river, including the heavy artillery and rocket launchers pulled by cars, Li Chang, commander of the First Artillery Corps, did not wait for the order to fire. There was no way, Karl and Feng Dafei were stimulated by Liu Yimin's harsh telegram
Nervous, the bomber formations continued to rush to the battlefield, driving the Japanese tanks of the Third Division to bomb violently. After dropping the bombs, they fired with airborne machine guns. The fight was cheerful and high-spirited. Nishihara Issaku could not give any orders, he
Whether it's a tank or a car, there's no way out of the bomber group's fire circle!
The 3rd Japanese Tank Division was completely paralyzed! Highways, country roads, country roads, and fields were full of burning Japanese tanks, armored vehicles, cars, self-propelled artillery wreckage, remaining Japanese armor, and motorized infantry.
, the self-propelled artillerymen were like a swarm of bees that had lost their queen bee, buzzing and scurrying around the fields.
Nishihara Issaku could no longer command his troops. The command vehicle he was riding in was hit by an aerial bomb, and the turret was blown away. Lieutenant General Nishihara Issaku, who was half exposed from the turret mouth and commanding the battle, was also blown away.
The power of the bomb was so great that when it exploded, the lower half of Nishihara Issaku's body was ripped out of the tank, turning it into pieces of flesh and blood mist flying in the sky.
The bomber group that defeated the 3rd Division of Japanese Tanks did not immediately leave the battlefield. The planes that had dropped their bombs flew back. The planes that had just refueled and reloaded and flew to the battlefield turned to search for the hidden positions of the Japanese heavy group.
.
After Sangmu Chongming led a heavy Japanese army group to arrive here, it was too late to build a strong defense line because of the bright sky. Besides, he was fighting a counterattack, not a defensive war or a blocking war, and there was no need to build strong fortifications. The Japanese army mainly relied on villages and mountains and forests.
Hidden, the common people in the village have been driven into their houses by the Japanese army early. In the courtyard, the Japanese army's heavy group is not afraid of exposing their targets.
Sangmu Chongming didn't understand one thing. Although this area was occupied by the Japanese army and the security situation was pretty good, that was absolutely untrue. It was forced out by the Japanese and puppet army's bayonets. In fact, our army had already swept through Jibei Province.
In the east, there are local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army and local government activities here. The people are looking forward to the early elimination of the little devils. Someone has given targets to our bombers!
